THE PLUG-IN JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PROMISES EFFICIENCY, DOES IT DELIVER? | 2022 GRAND CHEROKEE 4XE

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe presents a compelling blend of electrification and off-road prowess, aiming to be the greenest SUV brand in America. It delivers an impressive 25 miles of electric range and a combined 375 horsepower, making it the quickest Grand Cherokee available. The reviewer highlights its capability on and off-road, noting its advanced air suspension and robust four-wheel-drive system, which includes enhanced underbody protection for the hybrid components. Interior comfort is excellent, particularly in higher trims, with a well-appointed cabin featuring a passenger-side infotainment screen. However, the reviewer points out that the 4xe's fuel economy in hybrid mode (23 mpg) is only marginally better than the base V6, and its towing capacity is reduced. The charging speed is also noted as being slow. Despite a higher starting price, the 4xe qualifies for tax credits and offers a unique proposition for those seeking both luxury and trail capability.
